Love this photo.

Gazing off into the sunset by Virginia Wilson

I noticed that this humming bird would make its rounds to the feeders and flowers and then perch upon this bend in the sunflower. This happened repeatedly. So, I quickly came up with a make-shift bird blind (aka beach towel) and draped it over my head and camera. I stood up on a bench and waited - sweating like crazy in my "bird blind". When the little 'guy' turned to face the setting sun… snap!
